Burton Custom X Snowboard 2013

The venerable Custom gets a tech upgrade in the Burton Custom X Snowboard. Sporting a Dragonfly™ core with Multizone EGD™ with new 45˚ Carbon Highlights Hi-Voltage and Lightning Bolts Hi-Voltage, the Custom X sets new standards for lightness and response. This is as aggressive as it gets for those who want a competitive edge and pro-like status.

Rocker Type

Camber - When talking about powerful turns and poppy precision, camber speaks to the core values of board
design. Offering snappy energy for turn initiation and tricks, camber distributes weight evenly over the entire length of
the board allowing for smooth, continuous control from tip to tail.

Infinite Ride™ - This Burton-exclusive technology allows for maximized pop and strength by overbuilding the board, then putting it in a machine that breaks in the board for you. Whether you choose to ride Springloaded, Rocker, or Camber, rest assured that with Inﬁnite Ride™ your board will maintain its ﬂex, pop and feel from the ﬁrst day forward, season after season.

Twin - The flex is perfectly symmetrical from tip to tail for a balanced ride that's equally versatile regular or switch.

Directional - The most versatile snowboard shape, designed to be ridden with a slightly longer nose than tail to while still giving you plenty of float, flow and control to rip any terrain

Sidecut

Directional Twin - The classic, most versatile snowboard shape, designed to be ridden with a slightly longer nose than tail to concentrate pop in the tail while still giving you plenty of ﬂoat, ﬂow, and control to rip any terrain or condition.

Core

Draonfly™ Core - Over 300 independent laminations,
each individually oriented within the
core, result in superior weight-savings,
strength, and energized response.

Multizone EGD™ - Perpendicular wood grain orientation in four zones adjacent to The Channel for increased strength and riding precision

Squeezebox - This improves performance through
the balance of thicker, more
powerful core sections with
thinner, more ﬂexible sections.
Rider energy is transferred
outward from where it originates
beneath the feet, energizing
the tip and tail while making the
board more stable and easily
manipulated.

Laminates

Carbon Highlights Hi-Voltage - Carbon Highlights optimize
each layer of the ﬁberglass
matrix and add a full tip-to-tail
carbon layer to reduce overall
weight and ﬁne tune torsional
feel to achieve different ride
characteristics. A 60° ﬁber angle
creates a highly maneuverable
and playful feel, while a 45°
ﬁber angle provides a more
aggressive ride. In select Hi-Voltage
models, the addition of
carbon strands to the angled
ﬁber layers adds life and further
reduces weight.

Lightning Bolts - Radiating outward
from beneath your
feet, these energy
transfer strands allow
us to make the board
more responsive without making it
stiff. The Hi-Voltage version features
energy transfer strands woven into
the ﬁberglass both above and below
the board’s core for better power and response.

Tram Package - The ultra high end technologies pushed even further in search of unmatched weight, strength and shredability.

Binding Compatibility

The Channel - Gives you the ability to micro adjust your stance and is compatible with Burton EST™, Re:Flex™ and Disc bindings, as well as bindings from Forum, Drake, Union, Flow, Flux, Ride, and K2 with adapter

Specs

Terrain:All-Mountain, Freeride

All-Mountain

All-mountain snowboards are designed for exploring the whole mountain. They are your go-to for a snowboard that will do anything. They feel at home on groomers, powder, park runs and almost anything in between. The vast majority of snowboarders choose all-mountain boards for their great versatility. If you’re just getting started or unsure of exactly what you need, an all-mountain snowboard is a great choice.

Freeride

Freeride snowboards are designed for the rider that spends most of the day off groomed runs and in backcountry terrain. They typically have a stiffer flex and are ridden in longer sizes than freestyle snowboards. Freeride snowboards often feature a directional shape that is designed to perform optimally in one direction.

Ability Level:Advanced-Expert

Advanced-Expert

Whether you charge the steepest lines, carve with race-like precision, hit the biggest jumps or halfpipes; advanced to expert level skis/snowboards are for the more aggressive rider. You will often find the addition of layers of metal, carbon, bamboo, or other stringers in these. These features work to make a stiffer ski/snowboard with more power and rebound.

Rocker Type:Camber

Camber

Camber is the traditional profile for snowboards, and still popular among high-level park and pipe riders because it offers maximum energy and pop. A cambered board has a smooth arch underfoot and touches near the tip and tail when unweighted; when the rider’s weight is added, it provides a long, evenly pressured running surface and edge.

Flex Rating:Stiff

Stiff

The amount a snowboard flexes varies significantly between boards. Snowboard flex ratings are not necessarily standardized across manufacturers, so the flex may vary from brand to brand. Many manufacturers will give a number rating ranging from 1-10, 1 being softest and 10 being stiffest. Here at evo we have standardized the manufacturers' number ratings to a feel rating ranging from soft to very stiff. Generally you will find flex ratings of 1-2 as soft, 3-5 as medium, 6-8 as stiff, and 9-10 as very stiff. Flex ratings and feel may ultimately vary from snowboard to snowboard.
